I haven't been able to find a thread containing an accurate description of the 5 super combos... so here goes. Apologies if this information has been repeated elsewhere...
For the purposes of this post, a super combo is defined as a sequence of buttons on the Midi Fighter or Midi Fighter 3D that generate an extra MIDI note when pressed. It has nothing to do with how that note is used in a software mapping. We're talking MIDI here. However, my controller is in Traktor mode, so the MIDI notes displayed here will be specific to that mode. These combos were taken directly from the Midi Fighter source code at https://github.com/dublindan/Midifig...Latest/combo.c.
Without further ado, the super combos!

Combo A:
On the bottom row of the Midi Fighter, press and hold each button from left to right in order. The MIDI note sequence will look like this:
Code:
Message Note
Note On C1
Note On C#1
Note On D1
Note On D#1
Note On G#-2
Notice that you pressed 4 buttons, but 5 notes appear. That means the super combo worked!! G#-2 is a special note that the Midi Fighter sends only when these 4 buttons are pressed and held in the proper order. I'll refer to this as the "super combo note".
Combo B
On the third row, press and hold all four buttons. The order in which you press and hold is irrelevant; the combo is still the same. I went from left to right, and these were the notes:
Code:
Message Note
Note On E1
Note On F1
Note On F#1
Note On G1
Note On A-2
Here, A-2 is the super combo note.
If I press from right to left, I get the same super combo note:
Code:
Note On G1
Note On F#1
Note On F1
Note On E1
Note On A-2
You can press and hold the buttons in any order with the same result. Try it for yourself.
Combo C
On the third row, press and hold button 2 then 3. While still holding those, on the second row, press and hold button 2 then 3. The notes generated will look like this:
Code:
Message Note
Note On F1
Note On F#1
Note On A1
Note On A#1
Note On A#-2
Here, A#-2 is the super combo note.
Combo D
On the third row, press and release button 1, button 2, button 3 and button 3 again; then press and hold button 4. The notes generated will look like this:
Code:
Message Note
Note On E1
Note Off E1
Note On F1
Note Off F1
Note On F#1
Note Off F#1
Note On F#1
Note Off F#1
Note On G1
Note On B-2
Here, B-2 is the super combo note.
Combo E
This is the "Konami code". Row 2, button 1 is up; row 4, button 1 is down; row 3, button 1 is left; row 3, button 2 is right; row 3, button 3 is A; row 3, button 4 is B. Press and release them in the proper order (U, U, D, D, L, R, L, R, B) and then press and hold the last button (A). The notes generated will look like this:
Code:
Message Note
Note On G#1
Note Off G#1
Note On G#1
Note Off G#1
Note On C1
Note Off C1
Note On C1
Note Off C1
Note On E1
Note Off E1
Note On F1
Note Off F1
Note On E1
Note Off E1
Note On F1
Note Off F1
Note On G1
Note Off G1
Note On F#1
Note On C-1
Here, C-1 is the super combo note.
That's it! These are the 5 super combos and notes that are available for use in your mappings and performances. Hopefully this explanation helps current and future owners unlock the full potential of their Midi Fighter / Midi Fighter 3D. Enjoy!
